Woolworths in consumer debit card ripoff
 |
| Woolworths - the Fresh Ripoff People! |
On 29 April 2012, the Woolworths Group made a decision to not allow Debit cardholders to press "credit" on EFTPOS terminals when purchasing in their stores.
Debit cardholders must select "Cheque" or "Savings" and use a PIN when shopping at stores that form part of the Woolworths Group.
Consumers should be free to choose how they use their debit cards at point of sale, however this decision was entirely made by Woolworths and has nothing to do with individual card issuers..
By pressing "Cheque" or "Savings", this may incur a transaction fee which otherwise would not have been incurred by pressing "Credit".
Some banks provide monthly rebates to absorb fees up to the rebate amount.
A Credit Card account does not have the same restriction at Woolworths Group stores which Debit cards do, meaning consumers can still select "Credit" when using a Credit Card.
There is further information on the Woolworths website regarding Debit Cards.
This whole change is a gigantic ripoff by Woolworths - The Fresh Ripoff People!
Fraud Warning: Queensland Police warn of tax refund scam
Queensland Police are warning residents about a new scam that sees emails arrive in Australian Taxation Office (ATO) livery, complete with promise of a refund.
Queensland Police advise the email’s subject line is’ Subject: ID: 46 – Tax Refund Notice !’ and that the scam unfurls as follows:
The email advises the recipient to wait 6-9 working days for their “refund” to be received and they are directed to click on a link which appears to start as a genuine “ato.gov.au” email address, but on closer inspection contains a “@hotmail.com” address within the link.
The fraudsters tell the recipient they will record their IP address, date and time and threaten that deliberate wrong inputs are criminally pursued and persecuted. When directed to the website recipients are confronted with an authentic looking web page and are required to enter an array of identity details, credit card number, credit card estimated credit card balance and amongst other things to upload a scan of their driver’s license.
The mail is, of course, a scam and no refund will be forthcoming. Instead, identity theft and unwanted credit card purchases await those who fall into this trap.
Detective Superintendent Brian Hay of the State Crime Operations Command’s Fraud and Corporate Crime Group says “While fake emails like the ATO scam email are nothing new, people are still falling victim to it each day. This is very much a concern to us.”
New bookstore opens at Orion Springfield Central but will the accidents continue?
 |
| Allbooks4less at Orion Springfield Central |
Allbooks4less.com.au is due to open in four days at Orion Springfield Central.
But the new owner could be in for a shock when the summer storms set in, making the footpath outside the store as slippery as glass.
The former store was Mary Ryans Books whose owner often had people, including elderly folk, slipping and sliding and injuring themselves when the pavement got wet.
They sought comfort and first aid inside the store, thinking they were responsible for the footpath.
Pleas to Centre Management to fix this dangerous footpath have gone unheeded.
Centre management seems keener on issuing eviction notices than solving serious public safety issues.
The owner of Mary Ryans was unceremoniously locked out of her store and her leased terminated by Mirvac in what some describe as a complete act of commercial bastardry.
Whether or not that is true will be fought out in the courts.
Up to five separate legal actions are planned in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal by lawyers acting for disgruntled tenants at Orion.
These will be a major focus of attention in the media and are likely to be a total embarrassment for Mirvac whatever the outcome.
Issues regarding broken air conditioning, unfulfilled promises and lease breaches will no doubt be aired with more dirty linen than a Chinese laundry.
Mirvac plays legal issues very hard and sometimes loses sight of winning the PR race instead concentrating on winning the bragging rights over legal actions.
Orion at Springfield Central is fast gaining a reputation as the unhappiest shipping centre in Queensland with tenants in fear and frightened to speak out.
Maybe Mirvac's next great idea will be to introduce paid parking into the centre if they think rail commuters at the nearby planned railway station are taking up too many precious car parks.
Meanwhile, if you are walking down Main St Springfield Central in the rain, you would be well-advised to avoid the Allbooks4less.com.au storefront if you are not planning an emergency trip to the Ipswich Hospital or the PA.
